The bill titled "An Act relative to the cap on work hours for retirees, and retirees with disabilities" proposes amendments to the existing laws governing the work hour limits for retirees in Massachusetts. Specifically, it seeks to increase the cap on work hours from nine hundred and sixty hours to fifteen hundred hours. This change is intended to provide greater flexibility for retirees and those with disabilities, allowing them to work more hours without jeopardizing their retirement benefits.
The proposed amendments are found in two sections of the General Laws. In Section 1, the language in subsection (b) of section 91 of chapter 32 is modified to replace "nine hundred and sixty hours" with "fifteen hundred hours." Similarly, Section 2 amends subsection (c) of the same section by changing "nine hundred and sixty" to "fifteen hundred." These adjustments reflect the bill's goal of expanding work opportunities for retirees while maintaining their eligibility for benefits.
